I just picked up the Lenovo NextScale N1200 6U blade and populated it with NX360 M4 and NX360 M5 server nodes but it is showing rapidly blinking green light.
When i press the power button, nothing happens. Everything seems fine. The fans work, the power supplies shows working and fine. I can not see anything wrong, but the rapidly blinking green light and i can not turn on these server nodes
Anyone with experience with these servers? How do i turn these servers on?
The reasons given here Lenovo NeXtScale Documentation does not include that the server should have necessary things populated
The half 2U server node with everything CPU, MEMORY and STORAGE
but it is still rapidly blinking green
what is causing this? why cant these blade server just work like other blade servers? it is rocket science to get anything to work with this nextscale N1200 blade server
Please see picture below to show all looks good but still rapidly blinking green and can NOT power on the server node at all

Flashing rapidly: The LED flashes rapidly for the following reasons:
- The compute node has been installed in a chassis. When you install the compute node, the LED flashes rapidly for up to 90 seconds while the integrated management module (IMM2.1) in the compute node is initializing.
- The NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure does not have enough power to turn on the compute node.
- The IMM2.1 in the compute node is not communicating with the Chassis Management Module.
